I've been working on this project for a serious amount of time now, and today both my hard drives failed and I lost my programs, and they still need some debugging before I can use them. Is there anyway to get the .c files from the brick back to my PC ? please reply ASAP

When you put a program on the NXT, it's compiled into a .rxe file and that's pretty much a one-way process. A lot of the original structure and coding is gone, and it's optimized as well. AFAIK there's no way this can be done; you'll just have to recreate the programs.

EDIT: 6 minutes. How that for ASAP?

Re: Retreiving .c file from brick

NeXT-Generation is right, there's no way to get the .c programs from the NXT (since they aren't stored on the NXT).

If I were you I'd look into failed HDD data recovery. I also suggest that from now on, you always store those types of files in a place that get's backed up to remote servers (like DropBox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, etc.).

GitHub is another great site for your projects!

A compiled file (.rxe) is machine code; translating it back is impossible (at least in a recognizable form).
